I really liked this book for all the important themes it explored and the way everything was portrayed. The characters were properly fleshed out and developed. The plot is interesting and kept me hooked. Everything about this book was amazing, and if you haven't read it, you need to read it now. I cannot properly review this book, but I have read it so many times in the past. It was my comfort read in a way. I'm just going to gush instead. Not everyone gets the best parents, family, teachers and friends. And when you don't, you better be a smart girl to be able to make it on your own. And that's what she is... brilliant, funny, witty, sarcastic, friendly... everything all wrapped up into 1 adorable young girl. She has a few adventures, tries to make things happen and shows the world who she. And that's all we can ask for! Great book. Great story. Lots to see and learn. Definite re-read some day!

Though I seem to make the book sound like a foray into the wintry-gray ambience of a Russian novel, it really isn't remotely as bleak. Roald Dahl very deftly veils most of the ugliness from us, softening most of its impact. Matilda's pranks against the escalating shenanigans of her horrid, anti-intellectual parents are hilarious. I also liked the description of Matilda settling in, cosy as can be with hot chocolate to engage in some bookworming (Though with a touch of envy I must say. The delights of hot chocolate are quite lost to me as I live in a fairly warm, sometimes boiling part of the island I'm from). And I never thought I would cheer for an obese boy to go through such an unhealthy amount of chocolate cake. By the time he was done, he was my hero. You could also try this Roald Dahl Day Flipbook , which would work well for a full class topic on the author.Roald Dahl’s ability to write a world through the eyes of its child protagonists is one of the reasons he remains a firm favourite for teachers of primary English the world over. Colouring is a fun and expressive activity which is popular with young learners. By completing these exercises alongside readings of Matilda, your child will get the chance to be imaginative by expressing their own vision of each character. Colouring helps to improve focus, concentration and fine motor skills and is a great classroom activity. Who wrote Matilda? Mrs. Honey taught me that everyone goes through their own struggles in life. You don't know what the other person is facing, but you can be their strength. You can show them kindness and gratitude, and you can let them know they are loved. stars for another Roald Dahl masterpiece! He adds a way of life, in the form of magic, to his characters. Many have mentioned to me that they read several of his books when they were children. I guess I am just one of those people that missed out reading him when I was younger however, I am extremely happy to discover him now and know that my grandchildren are reading his books also. Matilda has a humour and cleverness that many children will love. Because of its themes of bullying and mistreatment, it’s recommended that adults first make sure that their children are comfortable with darker themes.

This book was a huge part of my life. If it wasn't for Matilda, my life would have been very different now. I might have still learned these lessons, but in a different way. This is a book I treasure with all my heart, and I am so thankful to Roald Dahl for writing it. The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village.”Miss Honey is described as " a mild and quiet person who never raised her voice, and was seldom seen to smile, but there is no doubt she possessed that rare gift for being adored by every small child under her care".

It was great to read and I understood it all the way through. Really exciting and creative. My favourite part was when Matilda with her teacher went into the headteacher's house and she got really wound up. It was ssssssoooooo funny . Plus crazy right to end from the start. 😃 One of my reading goals for 2022 is to read classics (and books in general) that have been on my TBR for ages! I’ve been wanting to read Matilda for such a long time, but for some reason I never did! I’m incredibly happy to say that I finally have read it and loved every second! Ariela: i love the book becauseMatilda was a really fun and Matilda was really cute, i would recomandet to lots of people. But her parents have decided she's just a nuisance who wastes too much time on reading and stories.I can't help but feel that every teen who likes dark academia secretly has a copy of this book moldering somewhere in their bookcase. MATILDA is like the OG dark academia book, and so many things about it shaped tropes I still love today: shy and bookish heroines who are quietly brave; evil schools; strong female friendships; and off the wall crazysauce. It's a scathing criticism of the cruelty of English schools, but it's also a story of female empowerment. Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer and screenwriter of Norwegian descent, who rose to prominence in the 1940's with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors. How come Miss Trunchbull made Nigel stand with one leg up while facing the wall? That's a weird punishment."

After meeting some of Matilda’s friends such as Lavender and Bruce Bogtrotter while getting into adventures at the school, we eventually learn more about Miss Honey’s life. Miss Honey’s parents died when she was young, and she has been under the thumb of her aunt ever since. Her aunt controls her finances, bullies and belittles her, and has even taken her family home away from her. This aunt is none other than... Miss Trunchbull herself! Finally, Matilda is a book about family. Both Matilda and Miss Honey find themselves without a family that understands them. In a bold choice for a children’s book, the story does not sugar-coat its narrative by pretending that all families are perfect. In the end, the two characters decide to make their own family. Presenting this idea to young children will encourage empathy and a greater understanding for what family means. I liked the book very much and I thuoght it was magical! Roald Dahl makes the characters easy to imagine. In some places, the story is very emotional. If Roald Dahl was still alive, I would like him to write a sequel. I recommend this book to ages 7 (but you may need adult help) to 100! This very special edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a treat for Roald Dahl fans both old and new Does anyone really, truly love to learn as much as Matilda? Books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone. She is such an inspiration - and not only because of the freaky telekinetics.Matilda said, "Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog. Make sure everything you do is so completely crazy it's unbelievable...” Matilda's family taught me, that there will be people in your life who may not approve of you. They may not like how you behave, they may not like that element about you that makes you you. And that's ok. Improving yourself for the better is one thing, but these characters taught me that you do not have to change yourself to please others. You do not have to change who you are. You can still be you. And I never (no matter how many times I tried) learned to fly or to move objects around with my eyes.
